Asteroids, also known as minor planets, are small, rocky bodies that have been left over from the formation of planets about 4.5 billion years ago.
While Orbiting the Moon, Chandrayaan-2 Observes the Sun to Help Understand the Mysterious Heating
In July 2019, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched Chandrayaan-2, and nearly a month later, on August 20, 2019, the historic lunar mission spacecraft entered the lunar orbit. Unfortunately, the Lander crashed on the Moon's surface while attempting to make a soft landing.
Now, one of the mission's science instruments, Solar X-Ray Monitor, which was chiefly designed to study the mysteries of our host star, has beamed back some crucial data about the majestic Sun.
Wow! NASA photographer spots space station crossing the sun during spacewalk (video) | Space
A NASA photographer captured an amazing sight Friday (June 25) when the International Space Station crossed the sun while two astronauts were spacewalking outside.
In a series of photos , NASA photographer Joel Kowsky captured the station's solar transit, as the event is called, as astronauts Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency and Shane Kimbrough of NASA worked outside to install a new Roll-Out Solar Array (iROSA) on the orbiting laboratory.

For the third time in less than two weeks, two astronauts ventured outside of the International Space Station to augment the orbiting outpost's power system with new solar arrays.
NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough and French astronaut Thomas Pesquet with the European Space Agency (ESA) completed a six-hour and 45-minute spacewalk on Friday (June 25), during which they install the second of six new International Space Station (ISS) Roll-Out Solar Arrays (iROSA).
Even the Hubble Space Telescope's Backup Computer Is Glitching Now
NASA has been trying to figure out what's wrong with the Hubble Space Telescope for nearly two weeks, but the mystery just deepened.
But the Earth-orbiting observatory hasn't done any scientific work for 12 days. The telescope's payload computer — a 1980s machine that controls and monitors all the spacecraft's science instruments — suddenly stopped working on June 13.

Detergent maker helps NASA explore space laundry - UPI.com
ORLANDO, Fla., June 25 (UPI) -- A detergent maker and NASA are teaming up to research how astronauts could do laundry in space, especially on Deep Space missions, using minimal energy and water.
Procter & Gamble has signed a pact with NASA, known as a Space Act Agreement. Under the pact, NASA seeks laundry solutions in space, while the detergent, Tide, gains publicity and furthers product development. Both parties pay their own costs. Advertisement
